Club running.

I contacted my local running club and was invited to go along for a look see. What a lovely bunch of people. Very welcoming. I asked for the slowest group doing the shortest distance which turned out to be a nice relaxed 10K. Which actually is my longest distance, so I might only be joining them for my long runs until I get my mileage up a bit. Anyway, membership fees are very reasonable so I might take the plunge. Hopefully I can get some good coaching on intervals and strides and all sorts of stuff. See how much I can improve faster than age takes it away again.

However, I suspect my main enjoyment will continue to come from running with just my own company and chilling out.

Have a look at Lonely Goat Running Club Chat on Facebook. It's an online group for people who run on their own. Lots of encouragement and positive advice

That would involve me getting a facebook account. Then it's a slippery slope. Where would it end?

Twitter, Instagram, Blogging, Vlogging, Youtube millionaire, celebrity, has been, Strictly, in the jungle,

Think I want to be lying in a pit covered in snakes and cockroaches (or worse, Papparazi)!

No thank you very much!

And anyway, who ever heard of an extrovert Slow Loris.
